Unlocking the Purpose of Human Existence: Insights from the Quran
IQNA – Quran teacher and researcher Mohsen Qara’ati discusses the purpose of human creation according to the Holy Quran in this brief lecture.
The Quran emphasizes that humans are created to worship and follow God, not because God needs worship, but because God helps individuals grow spiritually, the scholar says.
The Quran provides reasons for various practices, such as fasting, which is prescribed to promote self-restraint and piety, Qara’ati notes, adding that piety, in turn, is highlighted as essential for achieving salvation.
He also emphasizes the qualities of successful believers according to the Quran and encourages choosing the path of God over individual desires or societal trends.
